 * Hi,
 * Having difficulty with a CSV import.
 * It originally froze very early on, So i cleared all products and went to go again.
 * Since doing this it will not import any items, Just keeps spinning for hours 
   and hours and not a single product is imported.
 * Any idea what on earth I’m doing wrong?
 * i have triple checked the CSV file and all is fine, and its obviously confirmed
   further by the fact it did actually begin to import.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@elfedw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elfedw/),
 * There could be a conflict or server resources issue causing the import not to
   run successfully.
 * If possible, could you disable all plugins apart from WooCommerce and change 
   to a default WP theme like Twenty Twenty-One then try importing while on this
   basic setup?
 * * You may first try doing this on a test/staging site. If you don’t have one 
   already, your hosting company might offer one as part of your package. Alternatively,
   you can use a free plugin like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/)
 * If the import still faces issues while on the above configuration, could you 
   please share a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce
   > Status. Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”.  Once you’ve
   done that, paste it here in your response.
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for the status report! Unfortunately I don’t see anything there that stands
   out as a problem. 🙁
 * Are you willing to share the CSV you’re using so we can test this out on our 
   end? If it works OK for us, that’d be a pretty solid indicator that the issue
   may be something with your server or hosting environment.
 * Let us know, thanks!
